Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Liquid hydrogen is expected as a coolant for high-Tc superconductors. We propose forced flow cooling of liquid hydrogen for high-Tc a superconducting device. In this study, we measured transient heat transfer of liquid hydrogen in forced flow using Pt-Co wire heaters inserted into a vertically mounted pipe like Cable-in-Conduit Conductor. In order to obtain data for high flow rates, we have developed a hydrogen loop that was stably operated for a long time using a developed hydrogen pump and the existing experimental apparatuses. We successfully acquired the experimental data for higher flow rate. We derived a transient heat transfer correlation based on our experimental data obtained in a wide range of flow rates, pressures and temperatures. Furthermore, we established a model to estimate properties of the current-sharing ratio among MgB2 and sheath materials. Transient over-critical-current tests were performed on a MgB2 wire cooled by LH2 under magnetic field.
